Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for visiting! This campaign has concluded, but you can continue to support the Dean's Fund at GSPIA here.
This calls for a celebration. We did it! Thank you, thank you, thank you. The goal of raising $10,000 to honor Dean Keeler’s legacy and support GSPIA students through the Dean’s Fund has been achieved! We appreciate everyone who participated and made a gift towards the campaign. It will be so exciting to share the news of how this fund will support GSPIA students in the coming year. And we’re not done yet! There are still 6 days left in the campaign and we know there are alumni and friends who still plan to give. Every dollar given over our initial goal will result in additional professional development support for our students. Again, we can’t say thank you enough. In this distant time, it’s been so moving to see our community come together to honor Dean Keeler, send him off with well wishes and support the School. Cheers!
GSPIA Community,
Thanks to the generosity of alumni, colleagues, friends and family, the campaign to honor John Keeler is off to an amazing start. On behalf of GSPIA, we want to share our sincerest thanks. With 23 days left, we’re at 76% of our goal! We look forward to providing additional updates and look for some fun and festive social media content soon. Please continue to share the Fund with others to help us reach our goal!
Once again THANK YOU and cheers to Dean Keeler!
On September 17, 1958 GSPIA welcomed its inaugural class. Since then, GSPIA has celebrated over 8,000 alumni. Your donation of our founding year to the Dean’s Fund honors our proud past and Dean Keeler’s leadership over the past 13 years, while making a world of impact for our students.
Many of our students expand their skillset by applying for competitive internships. For in-person opportunities, a roundtrip metro ride from the suburbs in Maryland to Foggy Bottom, Pentagon, or K Street 5 days a week for a 10-week internship can add up quickly! Under Dean Keeler’s tenure, the DC office was created and continues to be an asset to GSPIA. Your donation to the Dean’s Fund directly benefits students by helping to offset overlooked costs (like a $6.00 one-way metro ride!).
By donating $100 to the Dean’s Fund, you are ensuring the next generation of analysts, specialists, and public leaders can apply principles to practice by helping to offset conference registration fees, travel, academic resources, and presentation supplies. Dean Keeler has been a strong supporter of students by providing financial assistance so they can attend and present at professional conferences.
GSPIA is able to provide opportunities for student enrichment. Your donation allows students to look for professional development opportunities that aid their search for solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. The Dean’s Fund at GSPIA has allowed Dean Keeler to support the needs of first and second year students, as well as students in the PhD program.
Gifts to the Dean’s Fund elevate the student experience at GSPIA by combining exceptional academic performance with worldly experience. By increasing professional development financial support, the best and brightest students are able to say yes to opportunities to grow and Dean Keeler’s legacy of providing this important support for students continues for years to come.
In addition to honoring Dean Keeler’s leadership of GSPIA these 13 years, a gift to the Dean’s Fund makes the uncertain future a little less uncertain for current and future GSPIA students. As we look to future professional development opportunities, your support will be critical to GSPIA’s ability to help students become changemakers.
